You are only 5 minutes away from Chocolate cake with just a few kitchen staples.

So this happened today.

Thank you. I wouldn't do this if I didn't have an Awesome Daughter. She's the one that got to clean the kitchen floor and table so I could actually work.

I have told all of my younger teenage cousins about the hemorrhoids and about the fact that my cervix was so damaged from the weight of carrying two babies that it had to have cryotherapy to get rid of the damaged cells. I'd like to think that made them a little more careful than I was.

My daughter procrastinated finding a costume for the Anime Con. So this morning, we ordered a wig and hat. We've been combing thrift stores for a black trench coat and went today to Joanne's. I bought a pattern for a matrix style coat and I have a week to make it. She wants to dress like this:

Practice. If you're still in school, college is a great place to practice talking to people. If you eat in a cafeteria, you can turn around and talk to the person in line next to you. There are always times moving around campus when you are waiting and there are people to just start talking to. I had a lot of…

Me, I received my Grandmother's fertility, so the first broken condom=twins.

I married at 20. No strangers commented on my marrying young or touched my pregnant belly, but my head was shaved at the time. I think that discouraged a lot of that nonsense.

I don't get them much anymore. ( I went gluten free and one of the side effects was a big reduction in inflammation - so I've only had one in the last year. I was up to 1 a week. My sinuses have benefited, too. )

Breakfast: Gluten free French toast, sausage patties, hash brown casserole.

For the Peter Murphy show, I drove an hour to the other side of Dallas to get a friend and then back to her house and then home. I didn't get home until about 2 am. I didn't stay for David Sedaris because I knew I'd be out so late the next night. My friends said it took about 3 hours. They said he was really nice…

This week was a great week. I got to see David Sedaris, and laughed until I hurt. Then, the next night, I finally got to see Peter Murphy perform, and he was beautiful. The only person I've ever seen command a stage like him was Lux Interior. I've actually had tickets to see him 2 other times and didn't get to…

And rotary cutters are dangerous, y'all. I'm now sporting 3 new band aids on my fingers.

I am trying to get better at sewing. I am making my daughter a dress for her dance in 2 weeks.

Elimination is a good way to figure out what you are sensitive and allergic, too.

I just want to say it was a beautiful day in Dallas today. It's my favorite weather: sunny and cool. I know it won't last long, but I ran around today in shorts and a hoody and there were lots of people right there with me. My legs are ready to be out, but it's just a little chilly to be all uncovered.

I know there is a Behind the Music that was updated in the last few years.

I always thought part of the fun of a bike was the tinkering and pouring in of money. I'm sorry you had to sell your bike.

My go to is lasagne. The week my cousin had his first kid I made 2 little lasagnes. They go nicely in the freezer and that is two future meals that they don't have to make. They could even grab a bag of salad and make it fairly balanced. I got two thank you emails. One that week. One about a month later when,…
